Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modern industrial production technology, and in particular to an integrated furnace for quantitative casting of aluminum alloy melting. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, aluminum alloys are widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and electronic equipment due to their lightweight, high strength, and excellent casting properties. The quantitative pouring of melted aluminum alloys is a crucial step in casting production, and the performance of the equipment used directly affects the quality of the castings and production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, traditional aluminum alloy melting and quantitative casting equipment is mostly of a split structure, which suffers from problems such as cumbersome processes, high energy consumption, and low quantitative accuracy. Even some integrated equipment struggles to meet the demands of complex production scenarios. In terms of quantitative casting, existing technologies typically employ direct casting through a single pouring port, failing to achieve continuous quantitative material feeding and casting.

[0004] Meanwhile, traditional melting furnaces are mostly fixed structures, making it difficult to completely remove the residual aluminum material at the bottom after the molten aluminum has melted. On the one hand, the residual aluminum material adheres to the furnace walls and bottom after cooling and solidifying, not only wasting raw materials but also requiring a lot of manpower and time for cleaning, increasing production costs. On the other hand, repeated melting of residual aluminum material can easily lead to alloy composition segregation, affecting the quality of subsequent products. In addition, there are safety hazards such as high-temperature burns during manual cleaning.

[0005] Therefore, an integrated furnace for quantitative casting of aluminum alloy melting is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an integrated furnace for melting and quantitative casting of aluminum alloy includes a base 1, a melting furnace 3 fixedly installed on the upper part of the base 1, lifting components 2 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the base 1, a casting pipe 7 fixedly connected to the lower front part of the melting furnace 3, a stop block 4 fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner cavity of the melting furnace 3, a through hole 5 opened on the side of the stop block 4 away from its axis, and a quantitative mechanism 6 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the base 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the upper surface of the stop 4 is inclined toward the through hole 5.

[0028] In the specific implementation process of this utility model, firstly, the operator puts the aluminum alloy into the melting furnace 3, and then starts the external equipment to heat the aluminum alloy inside the melting furnace 3 to form high-temperature molten aluminum. After the aluminum alloy inside the melting furnace 3 forms molten aluminum, the molten aluminum inside is metered downwards for pouring. Then, the internal drive structure of the metering mechanism 6 is activated, causing the internal structure of the metering mechanism 6 to move, and then the molten aluminum inside the melting furnace 3 flows towards the through hole 5. Then, the molten aluminum enters the metering mechanism 6 through the through hole 5 for storage. Then, the internal structure of the metering mechanism 6 moves to drive the stored metered molten aluminum through... The pouring pipe 7 discharges downwards, and simultaneously, under the action of the internal structure of the quantitative mechanism 6, its internal structure rotates back to the lower position of the through hole 5 for the next material receiving. The entire process does not require complex position calibration and adjustment, and at the same time realizes continuous quantitative material feeding and pouring. After the molten aluminum inside the melting furnace 3 is poured, the discharge hole at the front end of the melting furnace 3 is opened. Then, by activating the internal drive structure of the lifting component 2, the internal drive structure of the lifting component 2 drives the melting furnace 3 to lift and tilt, so that the molten aluminum inside tilts towards the discharge hole. Under the action of gravity, the molten aluminum inside the furnace can be completely discharged, reducing the waste caused by residual aluminum.

[0029] Example 2: In order to achieve the purpose of quantitative material feeding for pouring, refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this scheme, the metering mechanism 6 includes an annular groove 61 and a baffle 62. The annular groove 61 is opened on the side of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the melting furnace 3 away from its axis. The baffle 62 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the stop block 4. Several metering tanks 63 are fixedly connected in a ring on the lower side of the outer surface of the baffle 62. A fixed disk 65 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the several metering tanks 63. A sealing assembly 64 is fixedly connected to the lower end of each of the several metering tanks 63. A gear 66 is fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the fixed disk 65. A gear 67 is meshed on the outer surface of the gear 66. A fixed platform 68 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the base 1. A motor 69 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed platform 68.

[0030] Furthermore, the lower ends of both gears 66 are rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the base 1, and the output end of the motor 69 passes through the outer surface of the fixed platform 68 and is fixedly connected to the upper end of gear 67 via a coupling.

[0031] In the above process, after the aluminum alloy is placed into the melting furnace 3, it is heated and melted into high-temperature molten aluminum by external equipment. When it is necessary to pour a fixed amount of aluminum for casting, the motor 69 is started to drive the lower gear 67 to rotate. The rotation of gear 67 drives gear 66 to rotate, which in turn drives the upper fixed plate 65 to rotate. The rotation of fixed plate 65 drives one of the metering tanks 63 to rotate until it aligns with the lower end of the through hole 5. The high-temperature molten aluminum then enters the corresponding metering tank 63 through the through hole 5 for storage. After the high-temperature molten aluminum in the metering tank 63 is completely stored, the motor 69 is started again to drive the fixed plate 65 to rotate, which then drives the corresponding metering tank 63 to rotate synchronously. Then, the lower part of the metering tank 63 filled with molten aluminum is aligned with the pouring pipe 7. Under the action of the sealing component 64, the lower part of the metering tank 63 is quickly opened, allowing the molten aluminum to be poured downwards through the pouring pipe 7, achieving the purpose of metered feeding. At the same time, during the feeding process of the metering tank 63 filled with molten aluminum, the next metering tank 63, driven by the fixed plate 65, moves to the bottom of the through hole 5 for filling, thereby achieving the purpose of continuous metered feeding. After the current metering tank 63 has finished feeding, the metering tank 63 continues to rotate under the fixed plate 65. At the same time, under the action of the internal structure of the sealing component 64, the outlet of the lower part of the metering tank 63 can be blocked during the rotation of the metering tank 63, thereby effectively preventing the residual molten aluminum inside the metering tank 63 from dripping into the bottom wall of the annular groove 61.

[0032] Specifically, in order to prevent molten aluminum from dripping onto the bottom wall of the annular groove 61, refer to Figure 4 In this solution, the sealing assembly 64 includes a fixing block 641, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer surface of the metering tank 63 away from its axis. The end of the fixing block 641 away from the metering tank 63 is rotatably connected to a sealing cover 642. Torsion springs 643 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear of the fixing block 641.

[0033] In the above process, when the metering tank 63 moves above the pouring pipe 7, the sealing cover 642 moves to the recess above the pouring pipe 7, causing the sealing cover 642 to leave the bottom wall of the contact annular groove 61. Then, under the action of the torsion spring 643, the sealing cover 642 is quickly rotated, opening the lower end of the metering tank 63. The high-temperature molten aluminum is then discharged downward through the metering tank 63. After the discharge is complete, the metering tank 63 continues to rotate, causing the inner wall of the recess to press against the sealing cover 642, thus blocking the bottom of the metering tank 63 horizontally. This effectively prevents the molten aluminum from dripping into the inner wall of the annular groove 61.

[0034] Specifically, in order to completely remove the molten aluminum, refer to... Figure 5In this scheme, the lifting component 2 includes two support columns 21 and two support blocks 22. The two support columns 21 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper front part of the base 1, respectively. The two support blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the upper part of the base 1, respectively. Hydraulic cylinders 23 are rotatably connected inside the two support blocks 22.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper parts of the two support columns 21 are rotatably connected to the lower front side of the outer surface of the melting furnace 3, and the upper ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 23 are rotatably connected to the upper left and right sides of the outer surface of the melting furnace 3.

[0036] In the above process, after the casting is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 23 is activated to lift the middle of the melting furnace 3 upwards, causing the melting furnace 3 to rotate around the upper part of the two support columns 21. Then, while the melting furnace 3 is rotating, the residual molten aluminum in the furnace can be completely discharged from the discharge hole at the front of the base 1 under the action of gravity, reducing the waste caused by residual aluminum.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
